mobile COVID-19 vaccination team to Boulder on Thursday, April 15th,
from 11:00 am -1:00 pm, at the Community Center.
Moderna 2nd shots will be given to those who received their 1st shot
at least 28 days before April 15th. Johnson and Johnson one dose shots
will be given to those who have not been vaccinated. This will be
their only visit to Boulder.

receive a shot. If you have any questions contact me.

Subject: Pegboard: Coronavirus Update
Hi Everyone,
Last night, the Governor issued an emergency order to tackle COVID-19 and urged us to do our part to reduce the unsustainable and concerning spread of COVID-19 and the impact on our health care system. The following website gives specific information on the order:
https://coronavirus.utah.gov/state-of-emergency/
The key takeaways from the announcement are:
Implementing a statewide mask mandate (the Dept. of Labor may fine businesses who don’t comply with the mandate)
Exercising more caution when socializing with people who are not part of our immediate household (organizers of mass events that don’t comply with the mandate may face fines of up to $10,000)
Postponing all sports and extra-curricular activities (with some narrow exceptions), including city recreation, for two weeks
Expanding testing, particularly for individuals aged 15-24 who have the highest rate of spread. The testing will occur weekly for university students and will expand for people under age 35 and for high school teachers. The National Guard will assist with contact tracing.
This order does not shut down businesses or the economy because such a shutdown is unwarranted and unnecessary. Instead, the order is to urge us to be more vigilant in our individual actions. No order can mandate civility, respect, and basic consideration so we collectively need to make the necessary sacrifices to save lives and protect our health.
The Governor said he would soon address best practices for gatherings during the upcoming holidays and expressed optimism that a vaccine would be available soon.
The Governor emphasized that for the next two weeks, an individual may only attend a social gathering if the gathering has an event host or occurs at a business and the individual complies with mask and distancing requirements. An event host is a person who owns, operates, provides facilities for, or has formal oversight where a social gathering occurs. The intent is to limit casual social gatherings which have been a major driver of recent COVID-19 case counts.
Garfield County
Garfield County continues to be in the High Transmission Rate category with 7 new cases (127 total); 72 recovered, 5 deaths, 50 active cases (HIGH)
https://swuhealth.org/covid/
Boulder Town
The Town Council voted last Thursday to install an air purification system in the Community Center to help combat the spread of Covid. It should be installed in early December. Boulder Elementary is installing a similar system. They currently have a portable system and classes have now moved indoors for most activities.
In addition, local businesses should receive a letter announcing a Business Support Grant Program funded with CARES Act money Boulder received from the state. Applications are due November 16th. Contact Peg Smith if your business did not receive the letter.
Boulder Community Gallery
You can visit the new exhibit "Utah Women Making History" each Monday from 11-1 until the exhibit closes on December 15th. You must wear a mask and the number of visitors may be limited. If you need a different time to see the exhibit, please contact an Arts Council board member.
Stay Safe, Stay Healthy!

Hi Everyone,
It was a wild Memorial Day weekend with all the tourists descending upon us. It was very obvious that people felt the need to get out of doors. With most of the state being in the Yellow Phase (Low Risk), I think people felt a new found freedom for one weekend. Thank you all for your patience and understanding in dealing with our visitors. In particular, thanks to all of the local businesses for either remaining closed or partially opening with the proper protocols, in order to protect your employees and our community. Please continue to support all our businesses as they get back on their feet.
The next couple of weeks will tell the story of what this weekend meant to our rural communities in terms of coronavirus cases. In the meantime continue to maintain physical distancing of 6 feet and wear face masks when in public places. If you need a mask remember you can call Cheryl 7550, Shauna 7383 or Devaki 7606. Also if you experience symptoms of Covid-19, you can call our local clinics and get advice on testing. These websites will also give you the information you need:

Heroes
Our hero this week is Pam Furches. Pam has organized and set up weekly Zoom meetings for the Boulder Coronavirus Response Team. She has worked to make sure every business is getting updated information on loan and grant programs, acquisition of PPE, and bridge funding through Boulder Community Alliance. Pam has also been one of our contacts with the Boulder Skills Foundation to get residents help with gardens and food security. Her great attitude and work ethic have been inspirational.
Boulder Town
We will continue to hold our Town Council and Planning Commission meetings on Zoom during the Yellow Phase. Look for notices and Pegboards of how you can join in by internet or phone.
Boulder Mountain Lodge
Boulder Mountain Lodge will be reopening on Friday, May 29th. We are taking every precaution to make sure our staff, guests and community stay safe. We have carefully reviewed CDC guidelines, information from some of the top medical schools, and best practices from hotels throughout the nation. We are using the same disinfectant used by University of Utah Healthcare. Some of the many changes we are making include installing a Plexiglas barrier at the front desk, requiring staff and encouraging guests to wear face coverings, removing many items from our guest rooms, disinfecting high touch areas frequently, and limiting the number of guests in common areas. Only one (or two people if in the same group) will be allowed in our gift shop at a time and they will be required to wear masks and gloves. We are also temporarily closing public restrooms and the hot tub. We will not allow the use of our massage chairs, games, DVD’s, etc. We are also reducing occupancy as another safety measure. If anyone in the community has concerns, they are welcome to contact me.

Hell's Backbone Grill &Farm
We are in the final stages of the many months of kitchen renovation that the lodge is doing on our building. Once the kitchen upgrade is complete, we will be opening up for take-out and BML room service. We have been deep in the process of redesigning our restaurant model for the time of pandemic, and hope to start offering patio dining at some point in June. We will not be taking reservations for 2020 but rather doing a “first come first serve” style of seating for our outdoor tables.
In the meantime, we have expanded our online store with new mixes, pickles, jams, crackers, and much more, even instant baking yeast! You can order online ( https://hellsbackbonegrill.com/shop) and choose the pick-up option. We will put your order on the stand in front of the restaurant at your designated pick-up time....
Thanks for your support and stay safe everyone.
